SUMMARY:Microscopic Origins of the Weak Scale and the Power Spectrum of th
 e LHC - Matthew McCullough (CERN)
DTSTART:20180523T131500Z
DTEND:20180523T141500Z
UID:TALK102091@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:David Marsh
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the weak scale hierarchy problem from a general
  perspective and argue that the hints we have observed for new physics at 
 very high energy scales may in fact be a smokescreen\, with the new physic
 s lying much closer to accessible energies.  I will then discuss recent pr
 ogress in model building\, focussing on clockwork models\, along with thei
 r associated linear dilaton continuum limit\, including some comments on c
 onnections with string-motivated scenarios.  The last part of the talk wil
 l focus on the LHC phenomenology of this class of models\, including a new
  LHC search strategy to look for evidence of new physics in Fourier space.
